To be honest, I completely hated it here my first year, my 2nd year was slightly better, and it took until my 3rd year to realize that this actually is a really great school with potential for anyone. There's an insane amount of diversity, international students, and you can find just about anyone here from all over the world. My advise: make friends from everyone around the world, keep strong connections, diversity your worldview, and just join every club and randomly chat with people. 99% of them you won't click with but you will find a couple that you can click with. If you have an open mind in that way this will be a great school for you. If you are rather close-minded and not really into making new diverse friends, travelling to NYC ect..., then you will most likely find this place boring, since on the outside it IS boring. There's no college town at all, and pretty much everyone leaves on the weekends, few parties, difficult classes/faculty. Just look beyond the cold, unwelcoming immature undergrads that take up most of this school and you'll find some really interesting, enjoyable people whom you've never met before. Just keep looking deeper and you will soon find greatness here. University Resource Use: A-, Surrounding City: D Have a Question?

After a few months, I started to miss my other school and I prefer it. The professors here do not seem as dedicated and they are extremely unhelpful. I do not like it here and it makes me very depressed. I wish I can go back and I probably will. Also, the professors here, most of them are great but they seem to much into themselves. Very depressing and I will not miss it here. Preparedness: -, Reputation: - Have a Question? Your Response/Question:     To be informed when someone replies to your comment.

The social life is horrible, general faculty don't care about students, and provide far not enough resources to use. Cafeterias have almost exclusively fat and unhealthy fast-food, and if you want to cook yourself, kitchens in dorms have only basic equipment. Besides, you are forced to pay 2k for food, if you plan living on-campus. Half of the winter heaters in dorms are broken and you sit in your room freezing. If you leave a work order at the beginning of semester, prepare to wait till it's end before it will be fixed. Sport complex favor only basketball players and nicely tell all other sports players to turn over because of not enough space. Swimming pool is open an hour per day at best. The whole University is located in the middle of nowhere, so you won't find any interesting things to do around either. Overall, I would advise to apply to this University only if you're not planning to stay on-campus. If you do, however, consider studying abroad for at least a semester to spend some time away from Stony Brook. Their office is quite nice, and you have a big choice of countries.
